Terrible. Fun only enough to play until you realize mechanics mean the computer can just decide you don't win. I enjoyed the career mode in the UFC Undisputed series in the last generation of consoles. I thought I'd enjoy this when I found it for $20 on the PS store. And I did, for awhile. I started playing on easy, to learn all the mechanics because I knew it was complicated. I've seen some complaints about the stand up controls, and they're a little clunky, but once you learn them they aren't too bad. At first the ground fighting and clinch seems complicated but once you figure it out it isn't too bad either, at first. But once you get good enough to move beyond easy you realize something about the computer. That is they are able to do things you aren't. You lose stamina when they don't. They can block whatever transition they want, until they decide to let you go. The normal level is frustrating enough. But the high difficulty level is just stupid. I had a character, with max ground stats, moves maxed, all the perks to support what I was trying to do, and my opponent's stats weren't maxed, but I couldn't win. I couldn't do anything. I could initiate a submission from every potion but I couldn't finish. The computer moves before the graphics even appear on screen. I made an account to complain about this game. Just don't buy it. I don't think they bothered to do much play testing.
